“The Unmaking” – A Lyric Photoshoot

Hello!

Time flies! With school started back up, my blogging schedule is a bit more on the back burner. I’m still keeping my plan to post on Thursdays, but we’ll see where the school year takes us… 😉

For this Thursday, I am excited to show you a photoshoot I got of Julie. I got this photoshoot to go with the song, “The Unmaking” by Nichole Nordeman. I really like this song, and I love the lyrics.

I’ve included the YouTube lyric video in this post so you can play the song while you look at the photos and read the lyrics along with them. Enjoy!

 

 

This is where the walls gave way.

This is demolition day.

All the debris and all this dust;

What is left of what once was,

Sorting through what goes and what should stay.

Every stone I laid for you.

As if you had asked me to.

A monument to holy things,

Empty talk and circlings.

Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do?

What happens now,

When all I’ve made is torn down?

What happens next

When all of You is All that’s left?

This is the unmaking,

Beauty in the breaking.

Had to lose myself to find out who You are.

Before each beginning,

There must be an ending.

Sitting in the rubble, I can see the stars.

This is the unmaking.

This is the unmaking.

 

The longer and the tighter that we hold

Only makes it harder to let go.

But love will not stay locked inside,

A steeple or a tower high:

Only when we’re broken are we whole.

What happens now,

When all I’ve made is torn down?

This is the unmaking,

Beauty in the breaking.

Had to lose myself to find out who You are.

Before each beginning,

There must be an ending.

Sitting in the rubble, I can see the stars.

This is the unmaking.

This is the unmaking.

 

I’ll gather the same stones where

everything came crashing down.

 

I’ll build You an altar there, on the same ground.

‘Cause what stood before

      Was never Yours. 

 

This is the unmaking,

Beauty in the breaking.

Had to lose myself to find out who You are.

Before each beginning,

There must be an ending.

Sitting in the rubble, I can see the stars.

This is the unmaking.

This is the unmaking.

This is the unmaking.

Had to lose myself to find out who You are.
